Woo hoo! Great find, Lynell! Wake up, everyone saying, "nothing is happening!"

"A federal judge in Colorado has disciplined two lawyers who filed a lawsuit challenging the 2020 election late last year, finding that the case was “frivolous,” “not warranted by existing law” and filed “in bad faith.”

In a scathing 68-page opinion, Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter found that the lawyers made little effort to corroborate information they had included in the suit, which argued there had been a vast national conspiracy to steal the election from President Donald Trump.

...Calling the suit “one enormous conspiracy theory,” Neureiter ordered that the duo must pay the legal fees of all the individuals and companies they had sued — 18 separate entities in all — as a way to deter future similar cases.

...“In short, this was no slip-and-fall at the local grocery store,” wrote Neureiter, who was appointed as a magistrate judge by other judges. “Albeit disorganized and fantastical, the Complaint’s allegations are extraordinarily serious and, if accepted as true by large numbers of people, are the stuff of which violent insurrections are made.”

Thanks, Ellie, for this deep dive...and that you found it "read worthy"!

Good morning, Lynell and Ellie! Much food for thought you’ve given us, many thanks! If only a Neureiter could deem the idjt and his henchmen “one enormous conspiracy theory” dripping through a diabolical bucket of deceit and order appropriate, searing charges for the myriad corrupt illegalities to which they this far seem immune.

This sounds like the suit with four of TFGs lawyers were the judge took them down and one female lawyer started crying? Same or different?

Good morning Lynette. These articles are heartening, especially the last one. I have a brand new baby grand girl as of yesterday evening. 7.7 pounds of healthy. Yet I won’t see her until Saturday because of Covid restrictions upon visiting at the hospital. I’m all in with the light that leads those who oppose tyranny and suppression of our rights. And just the plain cunning and naked greed on the clammy unmasked faces of the likes of Desantis and his supporters.

Onward!

I have every faith, Christine, that you can multitask...save democracy with a brand new baby on your hip!

Still can multitask as much as when I had her mama on my hip. Thanks Lynell. Not sure why “Vivian” autocorrected you to “Lynette”.

Congratulations, and welcome to her! Because of changes in our society underway now, may she only hear in history classes about such things as “me too” , or voter suppression. All the people!

Congrats on the new grandbaby! I have a dear friend who gets to see her new grandson in about 10 days, and is sweating out the wait as the Delta variant rampages through our community.

Thank you for that link Lynell, we, I, need to read articles like these to hold on to some faith in our judicial systems which have been so horribly overrun by McConnell and djt cronies.

My pipe dream- most everything djt touched (except op warp speed) during his horrendous term would be overturned or reversed on the findings of what really went on in the white house for four years- much of which is yet to be exposed.

I know, it’s just fantasy. Just as the mental image I have replayed many times in my mind of djt being shackled and dragged against his will off to Guantanamo broadcast on every national and international media station- Highest ratings ever!
